GOODIE BAG
Below are some ideas on what to give as goodie bag treats at your Provençal Party.
1. South of France Provençal Goodie Bag Tags
Make each gift you gift have that French pizazz with these hand designed Provençal tags. Tags are 2 sided, one side with Provençal pattern (4 different patterns); 2nd side is either standard “To:/From:” text or personalized text of your choice.These goodie bag/gift tags can be purchased on bnute.etsy.com.
2. Provençal Linens and Fabrics
There’s a distinct look and color to fabrics from Provençe - royal blue, golden yellow, rust reds, sage greens-- earthy and sophisticated. These fabircs can be used as a table cloth, table runner, napkins, or sewn into pillow covers for great accents. If you’re lucky enough to travel to France, make sure to pick some fabric up. If not, fortunately many stores in America carry some. Below are some links to some retailers:
3. Pots of Lavender
Place small lavender plants in rustic terra cotta pots and line the center of the table. These little pots can also make great take home gift for guests. Also, plant lavender in slightly larger rustic style pots for accents on the bar, serving table or around your party space. If you have lavender handy in your yard, pick some and place in vases on the table or tie some sprigs together with a colorful ribbon or piece of Provençal fabric and put at each guests place.

4. Santons
Again, if you are lucky to travel to the South of France, perhaps you’ve seen these ceramic figurines called Santons. My mother over the years of many trips to France, has collected a small village worth! For the holidays, many times she sets out her santons in the middle of the table, and serves a delicious winter Provençal dish called Daube. It’s always fun to see what “person” we are given in front of our place... the bread maker, the sheep herder, the wine maker, etc... A little insight into my mom’s mood when setting the places!
This idea can be a perfect way to make your table memorable and filled with conversation! The santon can also make a special gift to give your guest at the end of the party. Here are some resources for finding santons online:
